US President George Bush vowed today that terrorists would be brought to justice.

Speaking at Gleneagles, where the G8 conference is taking place, the US president praised "Tony Blair's steadfast determination and strength".

He said: "The contrast between what we see on the TV screens and what's taking place here is incredibly vivid to me.

"On the one hand, you've got people here who are working to alleviate poverty, help rid the world of the pandemic of Aids, and are working on ways to have a clean environment, and on the other hand you've got people killing.

Innocent

"The contrast couldn't be clearer between the intentions and the hearts of those of us who care deeply about human rights and human liberties and those who kill, who have such evil in their hearts, they will take the lives of innocent folks."

Mr Bush added: "It's a war on terror for us all.

"I was most impressed by the resolve of all the leaders in the room.

"Their resolve is as strong as my resolve, and we will not yield to these people.

"We will find them, we will bring them to justice and at the same time we will spread an ideology of hope and compassion that will overwhelm their ideology of hate."

He said he contacted the Department of Homeland Security in the US, adding: "I instructed them to be in touch with our local state officials about the facts of what took place here in London, and to be extra vigilant as our folks start getting to work."
